Direct and Indirect Variation
www.montgomery.k12.nc.us › cms › libdirect variation. if the two variables change in the same sense; i.e. if one increases, so does the other. We have . indirect variation. if one going up causes the other to go down. An example of this might be speed and time to do a particular journey; so the higher the speed, the shorter the time.
Direct and Inverse Variation
www.lcps.org › cms › lib4For example if A varies jointly with the values of b and h the equation will be A=kbh. Example Variable I varies jointly as the values of P and T. If I=1200 when P=5000 and T=3, find I when P=7500 and T=4. Use the same method as above. Write the general equation. I=kPT Solve for k (the constant of variation) . 1200=k(5000)(3) k=0.08
